U.S. Gold Corp. set to join Russell 3000® and Russell 2000® Indexes in FTSE Russell's Annual 2025 Reconstitution

CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Gold Corp. ("U.S. Gold," the "Company," "we," "our" or "us") (Nasdaq: USAU) is pleased to announce that we have met the criteria for inclusion in the broad-market Russell 3000 Index (the "Russell 3000") and the small-cap Russell 2000 Index (the "Russell 2000") at the conclusion of the Russell indexes annual reconstitution, effective after the U.S. market opens on June 30, 2025, according to a preliminary list of additions posted Friday, May 23, 2025.

The reconstituted indexes are expected to take effect after U.S. market close on June 27, 2025, as part of the 2025 Russell Indexes reconstitution. Inclusion in the Russell 2000, which is maintained for one year, is based on inclusion in the broader Russell 3000. The Company's stock will also be automatically added to the appropriate growth and value indexes.

The Russell 3000 includes the largest 3,000 U.S. public companies by market capitalization. The Russell 2000 is a subset of the Russell 3000 that is limited to small-cap companies. The indexes are reconstituted annually by re-ranking companies based on total market capitalization as of the reconstitution rank date, which was April 30, 2025, this year. Index membership results in automatic inclusion in the relevant growth and value style indexes.  FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.

"We believe our preliminary inclusion in the Russell 3000 represents a significant validation of the momentum we're building at U.S. Gold," said Luke Norman, Chairman of U.S. Gold. "We're proud of our team's on-going commitment to developing the CK Gold Project in Cheyenne, WY and continuing to deliver value to our shareholders."

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. According to data as of the end of June 2024, about $10.6 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell U.S. indexes, which belong to FTSE Russell, a prominent global index provider.
